§ 3-22 Commercial Permits.
RCNY § 3-22
(a)Commercial Permits may be issued at the World's Fair Marina, Boat Basin, and Dyckman Marina to operators of commercial Vessels upon terms to be determined by the Department. The Dockmaster is authorized to exempt holders of these Commercial Permits from certain rules set forth in this 56 RCNY Chapter 3. Vessels docked under non-commercial permits may not engage in commercial activity without the express written approval of the Department. This approval must be attained on an annual basis. Complete commercial plans must be provided to the Department and no advertising may take place at the World's Fair Marina, Boat Basin, and Dyckman Marina. The Department may refuse such permission or terminate any authorization previously granted if it determines that such use may interfere with the public use or the operation of the facility or will not be in the best interest of the City. Approval will not be granted unless the Permittee presents a valid United States Coast Guard Captain's license and evidence of insurance coverage for liability and property damage, which must be deemed sufficient by the Dockmaster.
(b)Commercial trips with 6 passengers or less must pay the commercial pickup fee (6 passengers or less) for each trip in addition to regular dockage.
(c)Vessels planning commercial trips involving more than 6 passengers must obtain a Commercial Permit and may not operate under a non-commercial permit. (Amended City Record 8/1/2019, eff. 8/31/2019)
